The Flightcell DZMx, the all-in-one solution for global voice, data, messaging and tracking, is to be enhanced with a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot and router. This provides a cellular broadband data connection for on board smart devices and connected equipment without the need for a separate Wi-Fi router installation.
“Space is at a premium in the cockpit, which is why we have designed the DZMx to be a compact all-in-one unit in the first place,” said John Wyllie, CEO Flightcell. “We’ve now provided our customers with an additional, and highly desirable, capability and at the same time we are saving them the cost, time and space that a separate installation demands.”
Built-in Wi-Fi will be an optional extra for all new purchases that ship from July 2018. DZMx customers will have the option to upgrade their existing units.
Flightcell has achieved significant business success with a wide-range of companies and organizations that include the U.S. State Department; U.S. Air Force, Army and Marine Corps; U.S. and European airborne police forces; Colombian, Chilean, South Korean and Turkish Air Forces; British and Norwegian search-and-rescue; and EMS operators in more than a dozen countries.
As well, leading aircraft manufacturers such as Leonardo Helicopters, Lockheed Martin, Bell Helicopter, Airbus Helicopters and Sikorsky install Flightcell’s DZMx systems on new production aircraft.
This is the first of two technology releases by Flightcell leading up to Heli-Expo 2018 — expect another announcement within the week.
The company will be demonstrating this capability at Heli-Expo, booth C2141.
